And that's it. Now you should be able to run querys against the cartoDB servers using the CartoDB::Connection object.

Rails apps

If you're developing a Rails app, you just need to add the cartodb_config.yml file to your rails app config directory. And that's it. You can access cartoDB anywhere in your app's code using the CartoDB::Connection class.
